An introduction to Natural Law Gregory LaPoint, a business owner, professor, and father, was born in Los Angeles and raised in Southern California. He has lived most of his adult life in Colorado where his journey to explore the natural law has continued. He graduated from Regis College with a bachelors degree in philosophy, received a graduate certificate in civics from the University of San Diego, received his first masters degree in theology, awarded summa cum laude, from Holy Apostles College and Seminary, and a second masters degree from Holy Apostles in philosophy, cum laude, and he is presently a doctoral candidate. The foundation for natural law in his life began as young man. An awakening to common sense realism started with early family experiences and continued through life lessons. Jack Peiffer, his maternal grandfather, had nurtured in him a pragmatic orientation with such advice as "keep your nose to the grindstone," and instilled an abiding quest for this common sense realism. Fortuitously, he spent his formative years at a boarding school called St. Michaels Preparatory High School in Silverado, California operated by the Norbertine Fathers of St. Michaels Abbey. His instructors impressed upon him an appreciation for living according to the natural law. It was at St Michaels that the dedication to natural law was instilled into the fabric of his disposition. Later, he was formally introduced to the subject of philosophy. With this early training, business experience, education and equipped with the tools of inferential realism, Gregory eventually committed his life and resources to advance the natural law. His credentials for writing this book on natural law have emerged primarily from a steadfast commitment to observation and reasoning that are based in metaphysical realism. Throughout his thirty years as a business owner, Gregory consistently applied natural law to his business practices and life activities. He studied natural law both formally and informally. He believes that it is not necessary to have a college degree, nor be a college professor, nor be an author to understand and practice natural law. While he does consider his advanced graduate degrees in both philosophy and theology positive sources of information, these degrees remain of secondary importance. Essentially it is the metaphysics of realism combined with systematic inquiry that leads to the further understanding of natural law, as well as to the adversaries of natural law. It has become evident to him that learning and growing in knowledge of natural law is the responsibility of every human being wherever they may reside or whatever their profession or calling might be. He recognizes natural law to be the quintessential and indispensable governing human science for all cultures and human institutions. Gregory LaPoint founded the Center for Natural Law to raise awareness of natural law ethics in our world today. He lives in Denver, Colorado, where his daughter also lives. When he is not teaching or giving natural law seminars, he enjoys golfing and reading.
